Both an overview of how the Green Book changed and adapted over time as well as a history of racism and the black experience in the US during that time, this is a good place to start for readers 11 and up. Some older teens may find it too simple, but it does cover the basics. It would have benefited from a tighter focus.

Immaculately researched and detailed. This book does an excellent job showing the connections between personal and local stories and history with cultural and national stories, stats, etc. The author does a great job both showing and telling history as well as connecting it with the present.
